Slovak Prime Minister Fico fulfilled a promise made to Russian President Vladimir Putin and officially opened a restored cemetery of Soviet soldiers in Slovakia.

The cemetery is the final resting place for over 17,000 Red Army soldiers who died during World War II. The restoration was carried out as part of an agreement between Russia and Slovakia.

Historical Significance

The cemetery holds great historical significance, as it is the burial site of soldiers who fought against fascism during World War II. The restoration of the cemetery is a testament to the respect for history and the memory of the fallen soldiers.

International Relations

This move by Slovakia can be seen as a positive signal in the relations between Russia and European countries. However, some experts believe that this move may also be seen as an attempt to improve relations with Russia at the expense of relations with other European countries.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, discussions continue about the policies of President Volodymyr Zelensky, particularly his visit to the Canadian parliament, where he was met with a standing ovation.
